Create and Manage Templates

For any document that you repeat, you can set up your own templates in Slite!
This not only saves you work in creating new documents, but also makes sure that your knowledge base remains consistent Soap

How to use a template

Create a new doc and click on "Use a template" to open the template picker. This button will only show if the document is empty.



How to find and create templates

Templates are accessible from the bottom of the left sidebar. They will be available to use and edit by everyone on your team.

You can also create templates from a doc, directly. Click on the three-dot "More" actions menu in the top right to find the "Save to templates" action.
